7 Appendix C: Solicitor s Opinion United States Department of the Interior OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR Santa Fe Unit, Southwest Region P.O. Box 1042 Santa Fe, New Mexico January 12, 2011 Memorandum To: From: Subject: Confidential / Attorney-Client-Privileged Communication / Exempt from Release under FOIA Superintendent, National Trails Intermountain Region Attorney-Adviser, Santa Fe Unit, Southwest Region El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail Addition of Additional Routes By memorandum dated December 3, 2010, to Lynn A. Johnson, Regional Solicitor, Southwest Region, you requested an opinion as to whether the National Trails Intermountain Region ( NTIR ) of the National Park Service ( NPS ) may add routes to El Camino Real de los Tejas ( ELTE ) without further Congressional action. In your memorandum, you state that NTIR has released a Comprehensive Management Plan/Environmental Assessment ( CMP ) for ELTE for public review and that the CMP has elicited public comments requesting the addition of additional routes to the trail. Ms. Johnson has referred your request to this office for a response. I. Background The National Trails System Act ( NTSA ), Pub. L. No , 82 Stat. 919 (1968), codified as amended at 16 U.S.C (2006), establishes a national system of recreation, scenic and historic trails [i]n order to provide for the ever-increasing outdoor recreation needs of an expanding population and in order to promote the preservation of, public access to, travel within, and enjoyment and appreciation of the open-air, outdoor areas and historic resources of the Nation. Id Only Congress may designate national scenic and historic trails, id. 1244(a) ( National scenic and national historic trails shall be authorized and designated only by Act of Congress. ). On November 17, 1993, Congress directed the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a feasibility study for adding El Camino Real Para Los Texas (later, ELTE), a historic trail, to the National Trails System. See Pub. L , 107 Stat. 1496, codified at 16 U.S.C. 1244(c)(36)(A). Congress specifically charged the Secretary with determining the individual or combined suitability and feasibility of routes for potential national historic trail designation. Id. 1244(c)37(B)(3). In July 1998, the NPS completed the National Historic Trail Feasibility Study and Environmental Assessment, El Camino Real de los Tejas, Texas Louisiana ( the feasibility Page 153

8 Appendix C study ). Congress designated ELTE as a national historic trail in the Act of October 18, 2004 (the Act ), Pub. L. No , 118 Stat. 1370, codified at 16 U.S.C. 1244(a)(24). II. Discussion There is evidence in the Act and the feasibility study that Congress did not intend the NPS to add additional routes to ELTE. The Act describes ELTE as a combination of historic routes totaling 2,580 miles in length... The Act describes the routes as passing from the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass and Laredo, Texas to Natchitoches, Louisiana and including the Old San Antonio Road, as generally depicted on the maps... prepared by the NPS pursuant to the feasibility study. The Act also describes ELTE as being generally depicted on the feasibility study maps. This language indicates that Congress approved of the limitations placed by the NPS on the number of routes to be designated for ELTE in the feasibility study. The Act requires that the feasibility study describe the individual or combined routes that make up ELTE. Pursuant to this explicit Congressional intent, the feasibility study does not contemplate multiple additional routes, but instead specifically limits the routes comprising ELTE to those depicted in the maps attached to the feasibility study. In addition, the Act describes with particularity the routes of ELTE as totaling 2,580 which reinforces that ELTE is fixed with determined start and end points. III. Conclusion Congressional action will be necessary to add additional routes to ELTE as designated in the feasibility study.

9 Appendix D: Mapping Historical Resources along El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail APPENDIX D: Mapping Historic Resources along El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail The accurate mapping of historic routes associated with El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail is a difficult task. This section of the plan addresses some of the major mapping issues. It provides background information and a brief, general description of a strategy for mapping trail resources, with the purpose of encouraging the trail community to use a consistent approach in the identification of trail routes. Texas and Louisiana archeologists and historians have been working for several decades to document routes of exploration and settlement. However, the extent and complexity of the trail resources designated as part of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail require the development of strategies that bring together trail advocates and scholars across a variety of disciplines to collaborate in a major integrated mapping effort. As with all other units of the National Historic Trail System, all decisions on routes (location, alignment) will be based on the preponderance of evidence. It is clear, however, that certain issues or segments will always be in contention. In the last 20 years, new technologies such as Geographic Information Systems and Global Positioning Systems have revolutionized mapping, making it easier to develop a flexible and accurate geodatabase. The new technology mostly facilitates the storage, retrieval, and analysis of information: it still depends on the research of historians, archeologists, and trail experts to document the path of significant routes. In the case of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail, which has in excess of 2,500 miles of designated routes and more than 300 years of historical developments, the task is more complex. There are four important factors: 1. The existence of an extensive network of American Indian trails before the arrival of the Europeans While exploring Texas at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, the Spanish relied exclusively on trails blazed by American Indians, which, in turn, often followed wildlife migration routes. Both Texan and non-texan Indian groups had used these routes for years for a variety of purposes, including travel, exchange of goods, participations in trade fairs, road networks for obtaining additional food, and routes used by those taking part in ceremonies. Accounts from the 17th and 18th centuries concur that Spanish exploration of Texas was only possible because of the knowledge and assistance of Indian guides; yet, no maps have been found identifying these pre-contact American Indian routes. In those cases, where Indian travel guidance was not available, Spanish explorers wandered and, inevitably, often lost their way. The ability to communicate with the American Indians was also crucial to the success of various expeditions: Spanish explorers often waited for translators before they would proceed on their journeys. 2. A lengthy and complex period of historic development The Spanish explored and developed El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail routes for more than a century (1680s 1820). The routes continually evolved, as travelers made adjustments due to environmental conditions, such as flooding or drought. Indeed, routes varied from year to year, depending on the season, real or perceived threats from American Indian groups, and the purpose of the trip. These Spanish Colonial routes eventually linked up with a number of secondary roads and covered a sizable territory. The constant shifting of these routes over a long period of time greatly complicates mapping. Even Page 155

10 Appendixes with the assistance of Geographic Information Systems, it is a challenge to create a single map that accurately reflects complex conditions on the ground. Widespread contraband and other illegal commercial operations also complicate mapping, as many of the routes used by smugglers were chosen precisely to avoid being observed by Spanish Colonial authorities. Spain and France, the two European powers that vied for control of Texas and western Louisiana for most of the 18th century, tried to enforce mercantile policies that greatly limited opportunities for trade and commerce. Such policies made life hard in frontier communities, where survival depended upon the availability of supplies. Spanish authorities were particularly keen to discourage contraband and any other illegal activities that could strengthen French claims. In reality, though, the great distances involved and the difficulty of access, particularly along sections of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail in eastern Texas and western Louisiana, meant that local settlers were dependent on merchandise and weapons illegally purchased from merchants in Frenchcontrolled Louisiana. Smugglers used less-traveled routes, away from official thoroughfares, to avoid being detected by Spanish troops garrisoned at presidios such as Los Adaes. There is no official record of smuggling routes but historic sources, directly and indirectly, document the existence of such activities. It is not clear if there are any surviving traces of such routes. 3. Special environmental conditions El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail covers more than 2,500 miles and crosses the entire state of Texas in a southwestern northeastern direction, beginning at the Río Grande and ending at Natchitoches, in western Louisiana. The trail traverses a variety of ecoregions, from relatively arid and sparsely vegetated South Texas to the humid and heavily vegetated pine forests of East Texas and western Louisiana. Mapping such a lengthy route, which, in many locations, is more than 300 years old, requires consistency in approach and methodology. Spanish expeditions into Texas faced a challenging environment. They had to cross a series of major rivers the Río Grande, Nueces, Frío, San Antonio, Guadalupe, San Marcos, Colorado, Brazos, San Jacinto, Trinity, Angelina, Neches, and Sabine which often required the use of ferries. Unexpected flash floods could strike at any time of the year, instantly turning most of these rivers into insurmountable obstacles. Quite often, expeditions had to change routes in order to find suitable places to make their river crossing. Shifts in river courses and changes in morphology since the time of the original expeditions challenge those trying to map and field-test these historic routes today. For example, at the Conquista Crossing of the San Antonio River, debris washed downriver during periods of high flow have created an island that did not exist during the Spanish Colonial period. As in the case of other historic trails, rugged terrain often determined route selection. Early travelers almost exclusively followed already blazed Indian trails, particularly since the rugged topography in Central and East Texas greatly limited route options. When looking at the topographic information, it becomes clear why much longer routes were selected. For example, in the 1740s, the viceroy of New Spain ordered Captain Joaquín Orobio y Basterra of the Presidio at Bahía del Espíritu Santo to explore the coastal area, where French were supposedly getting established by way of Matagorda Bay. After two failed attempts to go directly east, Orobio finally traveled in a northerly direction, a considerable distance out of his way, to reach the crossing place for the Trinity River (probably near Robbin s Ferry), then traveled back down to his desired destination. The selected route was much longer, but it was the only option to reach the coast. Page 156

11 Appendix D: Mapping Historical Resources along El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail 4. Ephemeral Nature of Spanish settlements Finally, it should be noted that the ephemeral nature of Spanish settlements (missions, presidios, villages) resulted in a multiplicity of short-lived roads that, like the settlements they linked, are difficult to document. Documenting A Historic Route Historic documentation. The first step in mapping is to gather appropriate historic information to document the location of historic routes. In the case of Texas and western Louisiana pertinent materials, including both primary and secondary sources, are voluminous, which adds to the challenge of mapping routes. It is essential to ensure that the historic evidence is solid and that more than one independent source confirms the location of the route. It is not enough to know the beginning and the end of a route; it is essential to have intermediate points that allow the identification of the specific route followed by the trail. Expedition diaries. The traditional historic sources used to reconstruct the early Spanish routes into the Texas and Louisiana territories are expedition diaries. Unfortunately, surviving documentations for the period include no more than 40 descriptions of routes of travel many of them officials reports on the condition of missions and presidios, which did not carefully detail the routes they followed. Even detailed descriptions of itineraries fail to provide conclusive information about the exact routes: distances were often misjudged, river names were confused, travel directions were not always correct, among other problems. Diaries may confirm that a certain river was crossed; however, the exact location of the crossing is much harder to identify. Underwater or low-water rock ledges, which created a shallow ford, were the most common natural features found at river crossings; but where there are several fords within a small geographic area, it is difficult to ascertain which crossing was the most commonly used. The original expedition diaries were in Spanish or French; it is problematic to depend on translations that were not prepared with the idea of mapping routes in mind. Translating historic documents is a challenging task, and it is quite easy to make mistakes that could complicate the already-demanding task of historic mapping. Where there is conflicting evidence or field testing is not conclusive, it might be helpful to check the original documents for mistakes in translation. Historic maps. A fairly high number of historic maps survive, but as in the case of the diaries, they do not provide conclusive evidence to clarify points of contention. Such maps are often of a scale that merely suggests the general direction of travel and does not permit field verification. In some cases, historic maps may distort the relative location of sites. As with all primary sources, it is important not to rely on any one mapping source as the sole determinant of a route. General Land Office cadastral survey plats. These documents are of great assistance in mapping 19th- and 20th-century roads, and can be effective tools in identifying some Spanish Colonial roads. They are excellent documents, but they are most helpful at the individual-property level or in some cases at the county level. Because of their scale, it would be necessary to examine thousands of plats to reconstruct the congressionally-designated El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail route. To use these General Land Office plats efficiently, it is important to have a fairly clear idea of the location of the trail in the area: not all plats include the names of historic roads. Secondary sources. Secondary sources can be very helpful, but they should be used with care. Even historians like Herbert Bolton, who compiled the map information for his work, modified the data presented in the sources that he used (such as the names of the roads Page 157

12 Appendixes in Stephen Austin s map). Of course, Bolton s main professional aim was the analysis of historic political development in early Texas history; the preparation of accurate route maps was secondary to his goals. Ethnographic studies may also include information that can be used to help clarify conflicting evidence. Archeological Reports. Archeological resources play an essential role in helping historians verify the association of a site or segment with El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail. The State of Texas has one of the nation s best sources of information on archeological sites at the state level: the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory located in Austin 1. Texas archeologists have produced a number of excellent reports confirming the alignment of road segments linked to El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail, which can be used as models to assist in the identification of trail routes. 2 Aerial photography. Aerial photography became common in the 1930s, due to important technical advances between the two World Wars and its widespread adoption for land surveys by U.S. Government land-management agencies, such as the Soil Conservation Service, the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, and the 1 - TARL is a nationally recognized archeological research facility and the largest archeological repository in the state. It is an organized research unit under the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. Its mission is to collect, preserve, and curate archeological specimens and records, train students, conduct archeological research, and disseminate information about Texas archeological legacy.

U.S. Geological Survey. Aerial photography can be very helpful in areas that have not been impacted by major changes in land use, such as road construction or urban development. Where available, it can settle specific issues in relatively small geographic areas, especially in cases where there are visible traces of the trail. Remote sensing today often uses technology such as LiDAR3 and has become one of the most accurate, reliable, and cost-effective mapping systems currently available. It allows completing topographic surveys significantly faster and at a lower cost than using traditional survey methods. It is particularly helpful in detecting historic routes in heavily vegetated areas. Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas, has pioneered the use of this technique to identify El Camino Real de los Tejas routes in East Texas. 4 Putting the Lines on the Maps. Once systematic historical documentation has been collected, the route needs to be marked, using an adequate resolution. Because of the length of national historic trails, it is usually recommended that the route be plotted in maps of a scale of 1:100,000. For specific locations, it might be appropriate to have finer resolution, such as 1:24,000. At this stage, the information can also be captured and stored in a Geographic Information System. B. Verification of routes on the ground. Ground truthing is an essential task if historic trails are to be mapped with precision. A substantial portion of original routes are still visible today, but, in many 3 - LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find the range and/or other information of a distant target. Like the similar radar technology, which uses radio waves instead of light, the range to an object is determined by measuring the time delay between transmission of a pulse and detection of the reflected signal. LiDAR technology has application in archeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, remote sensing, and atmospheric physics. 4 - Jeff Williams, GIS-Aided Archeological Research, MS Thesis, Stephen F.

13 Appendix D: Mapping Historical Resources along El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail places, historic traces have been totally obliterated either by extensive highway construction or by changes in land use, such as commercial agriculture or silviculture (tree farming). Some of the obstacles facing those interested in tracing the path of the routes of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail are dense vegetation, changing river morphology, urban growth, even the construction of reservoirs. Using the remotesensing technologies described above, on-the-ground evidence can be gathered to validate or modify, if necessary, the information from the historical documents. Swales, ruts, or remnants of old trails are often still visible in the trail corridor; however, not all visible road traces are associated with El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail. Trail advocates need to search the historical records for documents that provide information on the development and use of such sites/segments. In some cases, archeological investigations are necessary to establish clearly how certain sites/segments are linked to a particular historic period. The widespread road development that characterized Texas during the mid-1800s included many railroad branch lines and county roads, as well as an extensive network of cattle trails. These newer historic traces can be easily confused with the Spanish Colonial roads established in the previous century. Conflicting evidence often challenges researchers. It is almost an unavoidable step in the early stages of route documentation. Only after systematically examining documents; checking archeological reports, secondary sources, aerial photography, and other remote sensing data; and field-checking the information obtained can we establish with certainty the existence of the historic roads linked to the development of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail. It is a time-consuming task, requiring the collection and systematic analysis of pertinent data. The addition of new information, as it becomes available, makes this a constant work-in-progress. But it is a rewarding activity, which can greatly assist in the protection of the nation s significant resources. Page 159

15 APPENDIX E: HIGH POTENTIAL SITES AND SEGMENTS BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS AND MAPS The process of selecting high potential sites and segments for El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail required the analysis of historic and archeological information for 40 Texas counties and two Louisiana parishes. The list of high potential sites and segments was developed following an analysis of more than 500 sites. The task involved a number of steps, two of which were not discussed in the main text of the document, but that are presented here. The first step took place early in the planning process. Volunteers in the trail community and individuals serving on county historical commissions in Texas and experts in Louisiana were asked to submit sites and segments for the consideration of the planning team. The information received was voluminous and demonstrated widespread enthusiasm for this project. It included documentation on museums, visitor centers, community events, and festivals, as well as the description of numerous sites and segments. The second step involved the development of inventories of resources. Two professional archeologists worked in Texas and Louisiana to identify historically significant sites and segments that would meet the criteria specified in the National Trail System Act. This research yielded a database of more than 500 sites for the 40 Texas counties and the two Louisiana parishes. Of these 500 sites, 250 sites were then tentatively selected for further examination. The criteria for selection included the following: site or segment association with the trail; its historic significance; the existing level of information about it; its confirmed location; its accessibility; its scenic quality; whether it is relatively free from intrusion; and whether it has the potential to be developed for visitor use. During the review process the planning team reexamined all the available evidence about tentative sites and segments that had been submitted and contacted individuals who made additional suggestions for inclusion. This thorough review process and the analysis of often conflicting information resulted in the addition of several high potential sites to Appendix E, most of which had already been included as part of Appendix F. Maps at the end of this appendix indicate the geographical location of the final list of sites and segments that meet the above criteria. Page 161

At that time, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act was not in effect, and many human remains, as well as funerary items, were crushed, stolen, looted, or destroyed. Some remains were transported to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, where they were kept in The Nation s Attic at the National Museum of Natural History until In 2000, authorized by the Museum of the American Indian Act, and supported by the Caddo Nation s Tribal Council and Repatriation Committee, the Caddo Nation Cultural Preservation Department began a long journey to return these remains to their ancestral home on Caddo Nation lands. Time period: s Ownership: Public (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) Name: Fort Claiborne Historic use type: Fort Description: Fort Claiborne was established in It was named after William C. C. Claiborne, then-governor of territorial Louisiana. The fort protected United States interests on the southwestern frontier. Troops were garrisoned here almost continuously until the establishment of Fort Jesup in Time period: Ownership: Public (City of Natchitoches) Name: Fort Seldon Historic use type: Fort Description: This was an American fort first occupied in 1816, and then again between November 1820 and May The site covers a square mile; a kitchen is the one structure still standing. One of the Officer s Quarters has been reconstructed and serves as a visitor center/museum. Time period: Ownership: Public (City of Natchitoches) Name: Fort St. Jean Baptiste State Historic Site Historic use type: Fort (reconstructed) Description: French-Canadian trader Louis Juchereau de St. Denis was on a mission to establish trading ties with Mexico. After traveling nearly 140 leagues up the Red River he encountered an impenetrable logjam; at this spot he hastily built two crude huts, which became Fort St. Jean Baptiste and the town of Natchitoches, the oldest permanent settlement in the entire Louisiana Purchase territory. St. Denis was named the commandant of the fort in 1722, and the colony thrived until his death in In 1731, an attack by the Natchez Indians exposed the vulnerabilities of the small French fort, prompting French officials to send engineer François Broutin to oversee the construction of a larger and stronger fortification. Spanish officials charged it was an invasion of Spanish territory, but St. Denis politely ignored their protests. The fort continued to be garrisoned by French marines until 1762, when France s defeat in the French and Indian War forced it to cede Louisiana to Spain. Spanish authorities continued to operate the fort as a military outpost and trading center; however, the fort no longer protected a territorial boundary, so its strategic importance was diminished. Spain eventually abandoned the fort, and by the time the United States acquired the territory in 1803, it was in ruins and no longer usable.

The mission was abandoned a couple of years later, but it was reestablished in 1721 by Marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo. It remained active until 1773 when it was again abandoned. It is part of Los Adaes State Historic Site. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Public (Louisiana Office of State Parks) Name: Presidio de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza de los Adaes Historic use type: Presidio site Description: This National Historic Landmark was founded in 1721 by the Marqués de Aguayo as a frontier outpost to check French expansion in East Texas. It was located a quarter league from the mission of San Miguel de Linares de los Adaes, near the site of present Robeline, Louisiana. The presidio was built in the form of a hexagon with three bastions or bulwarks, Six cannons that the Marqués de Aguayo had brought from Coahuila were left in the presidio, which had an initial complement 100 men. In 1729, Spain designated Los Adaes the capital of the province of Texas. This made Los Adaes the official residence of the governor, and a house was constructed for him within the presidio. Los Adaes remained the administrative seat of government for the entire province for the next 44 years. In 1772, ten years after Louisiana was transferred to Spain, Los Adaes closed and the inhabitants moved to San Antonio. However, many of the 500 soldiers and family members soon left San Antonio and returned to Louisiana, where their descendants live today. The presidio is part of Los Adaes State Historic Site.

Time period: s Ownership: Public (State of Louisiana, Northwestern State University) Name: Spanish Lake Historic use type: Community Description: This lakeside community was originally called Laguna de los Adaes, later Juan de Mora Lake, and finally Spanish Lake. Bison are reported to have watered at this site. In its report, the 1718 Alarcón Expedition provided a full description of the lake. The lake was about two leagues from Presidio de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza de los Adaes, and the expedition camped about a league from the presidio. The report noted that the Cadodachos River flowed through the presidio and on to Natchitoches. The distance between presidios was 60 leagues. The nearest access point for the lake was four leagues from Natchitoches. Various kinds of fish are abundant year-round, along with many ducks of various sizes, which overwinter here. Time period: s Name: Tauzin-Wells House Historic use type: Residence Description: It is believed to be the oldest standing building in Natchitoches and the second oldest residence west of the Mississippi River. It was built by the Buard family in 1776, and is one of the oldest examples of a Creole cottage. It is a one story house with half-timbered bousillage walls (mixture of clay and Spanish moss or clay and grass used as plaster to fill the spaces between structural framing) and a low pitched roof.

The mission was secularized in 1793 and the church was completely abandoned by The church has exceptional architectural preservation (including intact frescos) and is the oldest unrestored stone church in the United States. It was originally founded in 1716 in East Texas as Concepción de los Ais, temporarily relocated to the area of present-day Austin in 1730 before being reestablished at its final location in Bexar County. The church took about 20 years to build and was dedicated December 8, The facade was originally covered with brilliant quarter-foils and squares of red, blue, orange, and yellow. The mission is still in use. Time period: (Archdiocese of San Antonio, but managed though a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service) Name: Mission San Antonio de Valero, 3rd Site (the Alamo) Historic use type: Mission Description: Started by Father Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares in 1716 this National and State Historic Landmark was originally located west of San Pedro Springs. It survived three moves and numerous setbacks during its early years. Because the Spanish government failed to complete or adequately garrison the local presidio, the mission had frequently to provide for its own defense. Protective walls, eight feet high by two feet thick, were erected enclosing a main plaza located west of the convent and guarded by small artillery and a fortified gate. During the 19th century struggle for political and military control of Texas, these rudimentary fortifications made the old mission symbolically and strategically important. The site served a variety of functions, including quarters for San Antonio s first hospital (1805 to 1812). Between 1810 and 1865 the former mission changed hands at least sixteen times, belonging variously to Spanish, Mexican, Texas, Union, and Confederate forces. Time period: Ownership: Public (State of Texas directly through the Governor s office, but is managed by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas) Name: Mission San Francisco de la Espada Historic use type: Mission Description: Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this mission was originally founded in 1690 as San Francisco de los Tejas in present-day Houston County. It was reestablished in San Antonio in 1731 and changed its name. The original buildings at Espada, the farthest south of the five missions near San Antonio, were undoubtedly of adobe. A wall surrounded the church (usually called a Page 167

By 1749 the mission complex consisted of a church, a friary, granary and Indian habitations. The Indian houses were integral with the ramparts and served to enclose the large protected plaza. The present renowned church was begun in 1768 by Fr. Pedro Ramírez de Arellano, and it was completed sometime after By then the purpose of the mission was largely fulfilled; this fact, coupled with a great decline in the Indian population, caused the mission to be secularized in Time period: Ownership: Multiple (Archdiocese of San Antonio, State of Texas, Bexar County, and the San Antonio Conservation Society) Name: Mission San Juan Acequia Historic use type: Irrigation structure Description: Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this acequia is associated with Mission San Juan.

It was renamed in 1731, when it was moved to the site of present San Antonio. San Juan Capistrano was exposed to frequent Indian attacks and the lands allotted to the mission were not sufficient for its horses and cattle and the raising of the required crops. Construction of a separate church was begun, but it was never completed, and services had to be held in a large room in the monastery. The buildings of the mission standing today have no sculpturing, but the walls are thick and the rooms commodious. Most of the original square remains within the walls, offering an authentic picture of the mission plan.

A preliminary survey of the surrounding landscape during a National Park Service evaluation field trip confirmed that there is only one possible route for the trail to take north of the mounds. The mounds and the trail s relationship to them are also discussed in primary Spanish documents. For example, in 1767, Nicolás de Lafora records passing just north of the mounds, stating: We forded this river [the Neches] in shallow water and one league beyond we climbed a hill. On the summit is a mound which appears to be hand-made. Recent research conducted by Historian Robert Weddle confirms the relationship of this site to the trail.

Campbell as following the portion of El Camino Real that passed north of the Caddo mound complex, an important landmark noted by many of the early travelers. Time period: s Comal County Name: Comal Springs Historic use type: Springs/paraje Description: Spanish explorers discovered Comal Springs in The many American Indian tribes they found living there referred to it as Conaqueyadesta, translated as where the river has its source. In an excerpt from his diary, Father Isidro Félix Espinosa, who accompanied Domingo Ramón s expedition in 1716, described it this way: Groves of inexpressible beauty are found in this vicinity. The waters of the Guadalupe are clear, crystal and so abundant that it seemed almost incredible to us that its source arose so near. It makes a delightful grove for recreation. Comal is the Spanish word for basin, which somewhat describes the local geography. In 1764, the springs were visited by French explorer Louis Juchereau de St. Denis. They eventually became a paraje, or resting place, on the El Camino Real de los Tejas.

Time period: Ownership: Public (Goliad State Historic Park Texas Historical Commission) Name: Mission Nuestra Señora del Rosario de los Cujanes Historic use type: Mission Description: This National Register property was established in November 1754 by Father Juan de Dios Camberos in an attempt to make peace with the various Karankawan tribes, who had been troublesome to the Spaniards since the early eighteenth century. The first buildings were made of timber and whitewashed clay; later, stone and mortar were used. Indians came to the mission from time to time but were reluctant to stay, especially when supplies gave out. They were difficult to control, and the fathers complained of their indolence. The Indians came to the mission in the winter, but most left when spring came and they could produce their own food. By 1781 the mission was virtually abandoned. Father José Mariano Reyes reopened it in 1789 and built a small hut and a log chapel among the ruins. In 1791 a new church of stone and plaster was completed. The Indians had argued for a mission closer to their homes, and as a result Nuestra Señora del Refugio Mission was established in In 1797 all the Cocos at Rosario went to Refugio. By 1804 the buildings were in need of repair, especially after heavy rains caused part of the front to collapse. After failing to obtain money for repairs, Father Huerta, the missionary in charge, took the remaining Indians to Refugio. On February 7, 1807, Rosario was formally combined with Refugio. Time period: (By appointment only) Name: Presidio Nuestra Señora de Loreto de la Bahía, 3rd Site Historic use type: Presidio Description: This National Historic Landmark dates from April 6, 1722, when the Marqués de Aguayo laid out the plan for construction of fortifications at the La Salle settlement site, in southern Victoria County. With construction begun, Aguayo turned his attention to the founding of Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga Mission, close to the presidio. The new presidio was to guard the coast against possible French intrusion. Faced with continuing troubles with the Karankawas, authorities moved the mission and presidio in 1726 to the Guadalupe River, near Mission Valley (in present-day Victoria County), twenty-odd miles farther inland. For the next twenty-six years, the mission and presidio prospered with farming and cattle ranching that furnished food for themselves and the mission settlements in East Texas and at San Antonio. In 1749 the presidio and mission were again moved, this time to a place called Santa Dorotea, the site of present-day Goliad, as part of colonizer José de Escandón s plan to make them the Page 172

27 Appendix E: High Potential Sites and Segments northern anchor of the colony of Nuevo Santander. The captain of Presidio la Bahía, Joaquín del Orobio Basterra, oversaw the move, but the plan to bring the presidio under the Nuevo Santander jurisdiction failed. Capt. Manuel Ramírez de la Piscina, the new commander, undertook physical improvements, including temporary housing for the soldiers and their families, the captain s own house, and a chapel. He also directed the building of permanent structures for Missions Espíritu Santo and Nuestra Señora del Rosario. The garrison of fifty men guarded not only the presidio but also the two missions and the horse herd pastured several leagues downriver and were sent occasionally to escort travelers and supply trains between San Antonio and San Juan Bautista on the Rio Grande. As Mexico s political unrest intensified, ultimately leading to revolution, La Bahía was involved in episodes, such as the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition of , the Henry Perry campaign of 1821 and the James Long expedition of After Mexico won independence from Spain, the presidio assumed a new role: protecting and supervising the various colonists coming into the region. Time period: Ownership: Catholic Diocese Name: Rancho Señor San José/Rancho de Capitán Piscina Historic use type: Ranch headquarters Description: Part of a national register historic district, sites at this ranch headquarters were recorded as archeological site numbers 41GD84, 41GD85, and 41GD86. Another site that may be associated with this ranch is NO. 41GD49, which is a burial site containing both prehistoric and historic artifacts. The description of the historic artifacts suggests that they may be from an early period. Time period: 1700s Hays County Name: McGehee Crossing Historic use type: River Crossing Description: This is a ford of the San Marcos River, located on the Old Bastrop Road. There is a state historic marker that indicates that Louis Juchereau de St. Denis traveled this route to establish trade between the French in Louisiana and the Spanish of Coahuila Province on the Rio Grande in The first settlement at the San Marcos River crossing along the trail route was Villa San Marcos de Neve, established by Spanish authorities in It was abandoned just four years later, as the Mexican Revolution began to brew. In 1820 and 1821, Texas colonists Moses Austin ( ) and his son, Stephen F. Austin ( ), very likely crossed the San Marcos River near this point. About 1846, Thomas Gilmer McGehee ( ) settled on a Mexican land grant on the east side of the river. In 1859, Charles L. McGehee, Jr. ( ), Thomas s nephew, acquired 1,200 acres of land bordered by El Camino Real de los Tejas and the river.

Cordero charged Felipe Roque de la Portilla with leadership of the expedition to reestablish a Spanish presence on the San Marcos River, where the San Xavier missions had been temporarily relocated fifty years earlier. Colonists for the San Marcos villa were recruited from south of the Rio Grande rather than from Bexar and Louisiana. The first group of colonists set out from Refugio (now Matamoros) in December 1807 and by February 1808 had settled near the San Marcos crossing. Lt. Juan Ignacio Arrambide was appointed justicia (magistrate) of the town, with power to issue titles to land. Estimates of the villa s size vary from about fifty to eighty people, including perhaps a dozen families and servants and as many as 1,700 animals-cattle, horses, and mules. A central plaza had been laid out and titles issued to thirteen town lots when a flood on June 5, 1808, nearly wiped out the nascent community. The colony held out for several years, but harassment by Comanche and Tonkawa Indians finally forced its abandonment in Time period: Name: San Marcos Spring Historic use type: Paraje Description: This paraje was used by several of the early expeditions into Texas. Domingo Terán de los Ríos and Father Damián Massanet (1693), Governor Gregorio de Salinas Varona (1693), and Captain Pedro de Aguirre and Father Isidro Félix Espinosa (1709) were some of the many who camped at this site. Immense springs rise at the Balcones Escarpment, a geologic fault that slices across the state, separating upland from lowland Texas. The abundance of freshwater attracted American Indians of the Central Texas region, and later European explorers and settlers. The name San Marcos first appears in the records of the Alonso de León Expedition of April 26, 1689 (Saint Mark s Day), marking another Texas river; it was first applied to this river in Following later explorations, several Spanish missions were temporarily located here in Time period: 1700s Ownership: Public (Texas State University) Name: Willow Springs Creek Crossing Historic use type: River crossing Description: This archeological site yielded lithic scatter near a ford of El Camino Real de los Tejas, and includes a well-preserved segment of the trail. Time period: 1690s Ownership: Public (Texas Department of Transportation) Houston County Name: Hurricane Shoals Historic use type: River crossing Description: Corbin and Williams believe this river crossing is located at Kickapoo Shoals (Kickapoo Rapids), and that the crossing was used by the 1716 Ramon Expedition. Montgomery (1995) notes that he found maps showing that one of the routes of the La Bahia Road passed through Walker County to join the Kickapoo Shoals Crossing. Recent research conducted by Historian Robert Weddle confirms the site s relationship to the historic period of the trail. Time period: 1600s Name: Rattlesnake Ranch Swale Historic use type: Trail swale Description: Archeological investigation has established a historic relationship to the trail. It is a short segment. Visual integrity is partially compromised due to the presence of oil-drilling equipment on the site. Time period: s Karnes County Name: Carvajal Crossing Historic use type: Creek crossing Description: This rock-bottomed ford across Cibolo Creek in north central Karnes County was the best-known ford along the old cart road that traveled from the Texas coast to San Antonio. Situated halfway be- Page 174

29 Appendix E: High Potential Sites and Segments tween Goliad and San Antonio, the crossing was close to the old Fuerte del Cíbolo (also known as Fuerte del Santa Cruz) and the ranch headquarters of Andrés Hernández, who may have owned the first ranch in Texas. According to old maps and journals, at different times the crossing was called Tawakoni Crossing, the Crossing of the Tehuacanas, or Cibolo Crossing. About 1830, José Luis Carvajal, scion of a Canary Island family from San Antonio, acquired the ranch property adjoining the crossing; since that time the ford has been called Carvajal Crossing. The crossing is located south of the Farm to Market Road 887 bridge over Cibolo Creek. Time period: 1700s Name: Fuerte del Cíbolo Historic use type: Fort Description: This fort was not a formally designated presidio; however, it played an important role in protecting San Antonio and La Bahía at a time of increasing Spanish settlement in this area, following the decommission of missions and presidios in East Texas, including Orcoquisac/Anahuac, San Sabá, and Cañón. The original fort may have been established in 1735 and abandoned in 1737, but it is not clear if it was reestablished on the same site. Fuerte del Cíbolo was located at a natural ford of Cibolo Creek known as Carvajal Crossing (see above entry). This fort likely had more than one location and has been confirmed archeologically. Time period: 1770s 1780s Leon County Name: Kickapoo Rapids Historic use type: River crossing Description: Corbin and Williams believe this river crossing is located at Kickapoo Shoals (Kickapoo Rapids), and that the crossing was used by the 1716 Ramón Expedition. Montgomery (1995) notes that he found maps showing that one of the routes of the La Bahia Road passed through Walker County to join the Kickapoo Shoals Crossing. Recent research conducted by Historian Robert Weddle confirms the site s relationship to the historic period of the trail. Time period: 1600s Maverick County Name: Paso de Francia* 1 Historic use type: River crossing Description: This ford of the Río Grande may have been used by Alonso de León s third entrada in 1689 in search of La Salle s colony. Time period: Name: Paso de las Islas* Historic use type: River crossing Description: This ford of the Río Grande was one of five crossings that served Spanish travelers between San Juan Bautista at the site of present Guerrero, Coahuila, and the Texas settlements. At this point the river spreads out in shallow branches that flow among several islands (islas). Time period: 1700s Name: Paso de los Pacuaches* Historic use type: River crossing Description: It is located six miles upstream from Paso de Francia near the mouth of Cuervo Creek. During the early years of San Juan Bautista Presidio, it was called the Paso de Diego Ramón. The ford was used by General Adrian Woll and his army when he raided San Antonio in San Antonio Crossing was the name given to each of several fords on the Rio Grande in present Maverick County. Time period: * The team responsible for evaluating high potential sites and segments was not able to visit these sites during the evaluation period due to hunting activities on this privately owned property; however, other National Park Service staff from the National Trails Intermountain Region office in Santa Fe and a photographer working in association with this project have visited the river crossing site and confirm its integrity.

30 Appendixes Milam County Name: Apache Pass Historic use type: River crossing Description: This historic ford is located within the San Xavier Mission Complex National Archeological District that includes three missions and a presidio. This crossing of the San Gabriel river is near archeological site 41MM10 (a possible presidio) and 41MM18 (possibly Mission Candelaria) and upstream from Missions San Francisco and San Ildefonso. The ford can be easily observed from a point on a suspension bridge just downstream of the crossing. Time period: Unclear Name: Mission Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria Historic use type: Mission Description: This mission is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the San Xavier Mission Complex Archeological District. Located on the south bank of the San Gabriel River, it was founded in July 1749 to congregate Coco Indians and their allies, including the Tops and Karankawas. Mission Candelaria had a particularly unfortunate association with the soldiers sent to protect it. When a presidio was established near the mission in 1751 the commander of the presidio, Capt. Felipe de Rábago y Terán, decided upon his arrival that the missions should be moved, and constantly undermined the work of the missionaries. Relations continued to deteriorate as reports of lewd behavior among the Spanish troops spread to the mission community. Mission Candelaria was occupied intermittently by Bidais, Orocoquisas, and Cocos. It was finally abandoned in 1755 after a severe drought and epidemic. Time period: Name: Mission San Francisco Xavier de Horcasitas Historic use type: Mission Description: This mission is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the San Xavier Mission Complex Archeological District. The impetus for the mission came in June 1745 when a group of Indians came to San Antonio de Valero to ask for a mission in their own territory. Father Francisco Xavier Ortiz favored the idea because it would convert a new group of Indians, would stop apostates from San Antonio missions from taking refuge with those Indians, and would help break Indian commerce with the French. After a protracted debate over location the viceroy approved and supported the mission establishment. San Francisco Xavier Mission was founded on the south bank of the San Gabriel River in February It served the Yojuane, Mayeye, Ervipiame, Asinia, Top, and Nabedache groups. Missionary work suffered as a result of conflict between the missionaries and military authorities. A small detachment of soldiers proved inadequate to ward off the frequent Lipan Apache attacks, but royal officials refused to send additional troops. Although the missionaries urged the Viceroy to establish a presidio to guard the missions, they complained about lack of cooperation and the immoral behavior of the soldiers and their commander. In 1752, an attack on Mission Candelaria, which resulted in the deaths of a missionary and a soldier, further undermined morale. Drought and epidemics also plagued the missions between 1752 and 1755 and eventually drove the Spanish to move the presidio and the missions to the San Marcos River in August Time period: Name: Mission San Ildefonso Historic use type: Mission. Description: This mission is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the San Xavier Mission Complex Archeological District. Begun on December 27, 1748, and formally established on February 25, 1749, it was located on the south bank of the San Gabriel River, near the mouth of Brushy Creek (Arroyo de las Ánimas). Gathered at this site were Orocquisac, Bidai, and Deadose Indians, who spoke a similar dialect and intermarried. These Indians had extensive trading contacts with the French, and when the mission ran out of food the soldiers and Page 176

31 Appendix E: High Potential Sites and Segments missionaries were forced to trade with the Indians for supplies. Missionaries claimed this undermined their authority with their neophytes. A group of Coco Indians, also gathered here awaiting establishment of a separate mission, fled in March 1749 because of harassment from soldiers charged with protecting the missions. The remaining Indian groups, unable to adjust to sedentary life, left the mission in October Missionaries managed to recongregate the Indians by 1750, but shortly after the Indians abandoned this mission to join their allies in a campaign against the Apaches. The missionary in charge of San Ildefonso, Father Juan José Ganzabal, was killed at Mission Candelaria in This incident did much to destroy the morale of both the missionaries and the Indians. When the Bidais tried to return to the mission in 1753, the fathers sent them back to their lands because the mission lacked supplies. In August 1755 unhealthy conditions at the site forced the missions and the presidio to withdraw to the San Marcos River. Time period: Name: Presidio San Francisco Xavier de Gigedo Historic use type: Presidio Description: This property, listed in the National Register as part of the San Xavier Mission Complex Archeological District was a Spanish military outpost founded on March 30, 1751, on the south bank of the San Gabriel River to protect and aid the San Xavier missions. The garrison remained at the presidio until 1755, when disease and drought forced the soldiers to flee with the missionaries and their neophytes to the San Marcos River. Time period: Name: Sugarloaf Mountain Historic use type: Natural landmark Description: It is located near the confluence of the Little and Brazos rivers where a system of trails developed by American Indians was eventually used by the Spanish until late in the 18th Century. The hill is capped with red sandstone and overflows a broad stretch of the floodplain. This landmark is apparently linked to the Ervipiame who were eventually absorbed by the Tonkawa, who refer to Sugarloaf as Turtle Mountain. References to this landscape feature date from the 1750s. Time period: 1700s Nacogdoches County Name: Acosta-Durst-Taylor House Historic use type: House Description: Archeological investigations have shown that the 1820s-era Durst-Taylor House was built upon the dirt floor belonging to the 1790s-era Acosta House that preceded it. Time period: 1790s Ownership: Public (City of Nacogdoches). Name: Adolphus Stern House Historic use type: House Description: This state historic landmark is listed in the National Register Historic Properties. It consists of a 19th-century house that belonged to Adolphus Stern, a prolific writer who took part in the Fredonia Rebellion. Archeological investigations verify the authenticity of the structure. It is now a private museum, open to the public. Time period: 1820s Name: Bernardo D Ortolan Rancho and Swales Historic use type: Ranch Description: This site is associated with the Spanish Colonial period ranch belonging to Bernardo D Ortolan. This site contains swales, the main ranch house and out buildings occupied by Bernardo D Ortolan from 1796 until he left Texas as a result of his involvement with the failed Magee-Gutiérrez Rebellion in This ranch is significant because it one of the only Spanish ranchos ever to be identified with archeological remains on the eastern segments of El Camino Real de los Tejas. Time period: s Page 177

32 Appendixes Name: Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de los Hainais (Gallant Falls) Historic use type: Mission Description: It is the oldest Mission site yet discovered in Spanish Texas, the oldest European site yet discovered in East Texas and the oldest site yet discovered known to bear the name Tejas. It served as the headquarters of the three western College of Queretaro Missions under the direction of Fray Isidro Félix Espinosa. Time period: Name: Old Stone Fort/La Casa de Piedra Historic use type: Trading post Description: Built by Antonio Gil Y Barbo as a market or storage area for the town of Nacogdoches, the trading post is located on Old San Antonio Road and La Calle del Norte. This location may have also been associated with the Barr and Davenport Trading Post. The original post was torn down in The Stone Fort Museum is a replica constructed on the grounds of Stephen F.

The ceramic styles are identified as Caddo, which date approximately from A.D to In 1985, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from two burials at the Washington Square Site in Nacogdoches during excavations under the direction of Dr. James Corbin. No known individuals were identified. The 122 associated funerary objects included 49 ceramic vessels; marine shell beads and fragments, one pendant, and several tools. Time period: Pre-1700s Ownership: Public (Nacogdoches Independent School District) Rusk County Name: Mission San José de los Nazonis Historic use type: Mission Description: This mission was founded by the Domingo Ramón Expedition in It served the Nazoni Indians, on a branch of Shawnee Creek, in what became northwestern Nacogdoches County. The mission was abandoned in 1719, following French incursions from Louisiana, but was restored by the Marqués de Aguayo in In 1730, it was removed to the Colorado River in Texas, near the site of Austin s Zilker Park, where it stood alongside the San Francisco de los Neches and Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de los Hasinai missions. The following year, all three Austin missions were moved to the San Antonio River and reestablished as San Juan Capistrano Mission. Time period: 18th century Sabine County Name: Oliphant House Historic use type: Residence of ferry operator Description: Listed in the National Register the Oliphant House was built in 1818 and is one of the earliest pre-republic, Anglo- American structures in Texas. The log house, once part of the early settlement of Gaines Ferry, is the only surviving structure of James Gaines large plantation and ferry-tavern enterprise on the Sabine River crossing of the El Camino Real. James Gaines built the house for his in-laws. Time period: 1800s (Daughters of the Republic of Texas) San Augustine County Name: Garrett Trace Historic use type: Trail swale Page 178

33 Appendix E: High Potential Sites and Segments Description: The trail swale is located in front of a two-story house belonging to William Garrett ( ) that is now a state historic landmark. Garrett purchased this land soon after coming to Texas in In 1861, he erected the house using pine boards from his nearby sawmill. Built by slave labor, the structure had unusual free-standing columns in front and carved mantels over its six fireplaces. Garrett s home was often a stop for travelers on the Old San Antonio Road. Time period: s Name: Mission Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de los Ais, 2nd Site Historic use type: Mission Description: This National Register property and state historic landmark was first established in January of It was abandoned in 1719 with the advent of hostilities between Spain and France. When the mission was reestablished in August 1722, Father Antonio Margil de Jesús moved it east of the previous site near a stream and a large tract of level land that could be used for cultivation. Recent research has located the site on a hill next to Ayish Bayou within the present city limits of San Augustine. Archeological research has enhanced our view of everyday life at Mission Dolores. Cow and ox bones, common in the excavated trash pits, give clues on butchering techniques and preferred cuts of meat. Such recovered items as gun flints and other parts, broken knife blades, and horse trappings were probably associated with the soldier guards living at the mission. Pieces of broken pottery, especially Indian-made wares, are plentiful. It would appear that the inhabitants relied heavily on locally made utensils Time period: Ownership: Public Travis County Name: McKinney Falls State Park/Onion Creek Crossing Historic use type: Road swale Description: The arroyo/río de las Garrapatas (present-day Onion Creek) was first described in 1709 by Father Isidro Félix Espinosa with the Olivares-Aguirre expedition, and it is mentioned in several other Spanish texts. Recent research conducted by Robert Weddle reveals that in 1716 the expedition of Domingo Ramón followed the left bank of Onion Creek along the western edge of McKinney Falls State Park to its junction with Williamson Creek. Recent images clearly document the rock indentations that resulted from extensive use of the area. Time period: s Ownership: Public (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) Victoria County Name: Guadalupe River Dam Historic use type: Irrigation structure Description: This irrigation structure is associated with a significant mission site and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

It was moved from the original location on Garci- Page 179

34 Appendixes tas Creek around It was constructed of mortared stone on a bluff called Tonkawa Bank near a popular low-water crossing. The original mission, which appears in Spanish records also as La Bahía del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga, was a reference to its location on La Bahía del Espíritu Santo (the Bay of the Holy Spirit, now called Matagorda Bay and Lavaca Bay) and also honored Báltasar de Zúñiga, viceroy of New Spain. The establishment remained at its original site only about four years and was relocated at least twice. As early as April 1725 the padres recommended moving it and its presidio to a location more favorable to their missionary efforts. They had been unable to induce the wandering Karankawas to accept Christian teachings or stay at the mission, and there had also been incidents of ill feeling and violence between the Indians and the Spaniards. Time period: Name: Mission Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga, 3rd Site Historic use type: Mission Description: This mission was occupied from by Franciscan missionaries along with Aranama and Tamique Indians. The archeological record of the mission offers a unique opportunity to examine the processes of change at work and their affects on both the mission Indians and the friars. Through the examination of the material and faunal remains, questions of the effects of contact and long-term interaction are addressed. This research adds to our knowledge of the mission era in south Texas and contributes to the cultural history of Texas. This site is also significant for its extensive ruins that have not been reconstructed as most missions with standing architecture were during the WPA years. It represents an excellent example of unaltered Spanish Colonial Architecture. Time period: ca Name: Presidio Nuestra Señora Santa María de Loreto de la Bahía del Espíritu Santo, 1st Site (Fort Saint Louis) Historic use type: Presidio Description: This site, listed in National Register of Historic Places, was the original location of French Fort St Louis established by La Salle in When the Spanish finally discovered the remains of the French settlement in 1689, they buried the cannons and burned the buildings. The Spanish established a presidio on the site in April 4, 1721, when Capt. Domingo Ramón occupied the site of La Salle s Texas Settlement on the right bank of Garcitas Creek five miles above its mouth in Lavaca Bay. Ramón, as part of the Marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo expedition, was to hold this crucial site while the main thrust of the expedition, led by Aguayo, proceeded into East Texas. Aguayo s purpose was to drive out any French and reestablish the missions abandoned in A year after Ramón s occupation, on April 6, 1722, Aguayo laid out the plan for construction of fortifications at the La Salle settlement site. The new presidio was to guard the coast against possible French intrusion: a prescient move in view of the fact that French maritime expeditions had probed the coast in 1720 and 1721, seeking La Salle s bay with expectations of building fortifications. Faced with continuing troubles with the Karankawas, authorities moved both the mission and presidio in 1726 to the Guadalupe River. Time period: Name: Presidio Nuestra Señora de Loreto de la Bahía, 2nd Site Historic use type: Presidio Description: This is the second site of the Presidio Nuestra Señora de Loreto de la Bahía.

35 Appendix E: High Potential Sites and Segments ity. It came to be known as Paso de Jacinto, but it had probably been used for centuries before by American Indians. The Laredo community, which began as a ranch established by Tomás Tadeo Sánchez de la Barrera, grew up around it. In 1754, colonizer Jose de Escandón asked Sánchez to find a place for a settlement along the Nueces River. Sanchez failed to identify a suitable location on the Nueces, and instead, in May 1755, settled along the Río Grande, downstream of Paso de Jacinto. Two years later, Agustín López de la Cámara Alta reported that the settlement at the crossing was important in sustaining what had become a major business and military route across the Río Grande. He also stated that the settlers pursuits mainly involved breeding cattle and gathering salt from regional salt lakes. By the turn of the 19th century, the crossing was marked on maps as Paso de los Indios; a century later, the Old Indian Crossing, as it was known in English, was a well-known landmark near the northern edge of Fort McIntosh. In 1757, this ford was recorded by Tienda de Cuervo as being the river crossing used by people with horses. Time period: 1740s (Laredo Community College allows public access to the site) Name: Rancho los Ojuelos Historic use type: Ranch Description: This National Historic district consists of 13 stone houses (several in ruins) constructed from hewn sandstone blocks, chinked and plastered, ranging from rectangular flat roofed Colonial Style buildings to hip roofed two room structures. It was temporarily settled in 1810 by Eugenio Gutierrez who received a grant from the Spanish Crown for two sitios (ca. 8,856 acres). The ranch headquarters were located near a large natural spring (ojuelos). This site is a good example of the type of multipurpose hacienda (socio-economic-agriculturalreligious establishment) that evolved close to Dolores in South Texas, adjacent to the Río Grande. Time period: Post-1750s. Name: Republic of the Río Grande Museum/Villa Antigua Border Heritage Museum Historic use type: Residences Description: Located in the downtown San Agustin Historical District it was once the Republic of the Río Grande capitol building. It now showcases memorabilia from the short-lived Republic of the Río Grande and displays pictures, books, and furniture from the 19th century Laredo area. There are three restored rooms: an office and sitting area, a bedroom, and a kitchen. Casa Ortiz, a component of this complex, is a state historic landmark. Time period: 1800s (Webb County Heritage Foundation), but open to the public. Name: San José de Palafox Historic use type: Village/town/paraje Description: This National Register Archeological and Historic District was an unsuccessful settlement on land that the Spanish crown granted to Mexican settlers during the early nineteenth century. In 1810 the Spanish government ordered the establishment of a new town on the margin of the Río Grande, named Palafox, in honor of a Spanish general, Francisco de Palafox y Melci. Juan José Díaz was to administer justice and distribute land to settlers, mostly families from the older settlements of Coahuila, though no money was available to fund the construction of public buildings. The settlers themselves built a church in the center of town. The townspeople prospered by raising livestock, especially sheep and goats, and the town grew from almost 240 inhabitants in 1815 to 277 by the end of The townspeople, however, soon faced depredations by Comanches who burned the village in Some families returned by 1824, and in 1826 sixty soldiers were ordered to Palafox to build barracks, but the town was finally destroyed in Time period: 1700s Note: The evaluating team was not granted permission to access this site.

Missionaries and Indians raised livestock at the ranch from 1731 to The site originally included fortifications and a chapel, but only a few foundations remain. It was located on the west bank route of the Bexar La Bahía Road. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Public (National Park Service) Zapata County Name: Jesús Treviño Fort and Ranch Historic use type: Fort and ranch Description: This site is a national historic landmark. It was settled in 1830 by former residents of Revilla (now Nuevo Guerrero, Tamaulipas) under the leadership of Jesús Treviño. The site was in the southwest corner of the original Hacienda de Dolores, a grant made in 1750 by Col. José de Escandón to José Vázquez Borrego, and was named for the patron saint of Guerrero, Saint Ignatius Loyola. In 1830 Treviño built a sandstone home, known as Fort Treviño, 100 by 140 feet. José Villarreal placed a sundial at the home in 1851; the timepiece has become a tourist attraction. San Ygnacio became a center of trade by the mid-1800s, and the town was the scene of several border skirmishes throughout the years. Time period: 1830s Name: Nuestra Señora de los Dolores Hacienda/Rancho Viejo/Dolores Viejo Historic use type: Village/ranch Description: This National Historic Register property was a ranch settlement crucial to the Spanish colonial government plan to settle a region between the Nueces River in the north and Tampico in the south. In 1750 the Hacienda de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores was founded by a grant of land from the crown of Spain to José Vázquez Borrego, a wealthy rancher from Coahuila. This settlement, at the junction of Dolores Creek and the Rio Grande, is considered to be the first Spanish colonial venture on the north bank of the Rio Grande. The name Hacienda Dolores dates to 1757, when the settlement was so labeled by José Tienda de Cuervo on his inspection tour of the newly founded settlements that were part of the colonizing program of José de Escandón. However, given the fact that Dolores was the headquarters for an outpost ranching operation and that the owner, Vázquez Borrego, lived at his Hacienda de San Juan del Álamo in Coahuila, it might more properly be called Rancho Dolores. Time period: Note: The evaluating team was not granted permission to access this site. Name: San José de los Corralitos Historic use type: Residence Description: This property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The first building erected on this land grant was a fortified ranch structure to protect the family from Indians and marauders from across the Rio Grande. It dates from 1753, when Colonel José de Escandón donated a 350,000-acre grant, a portion of which would eventually become the village of Corralitos (little corrals) and part of an effort to hold title to the Borrego family grant known originally as Nuestra Señora de los Dolores. Don José Fernando Vidaurri, grandson of the original Borrego grant owner, built the single-room dwelling of sandstone, mud mortar, mesquite and Montezuma cypress. It had 33-inch thick walls; one door on the east elevation; no windows; six gun ports; and a flat, 11-foot tall ceiling. The gun ports facilitated the muzzle of a blackpowder firearm, which extended through the opening to be visible from the outside.

51 APPENDIX F: ADDITIONAL SITES AND SEGMENTS THAT COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR INCLUSION The section below includes segments and sites that might merit inclusion later on, but at this time, fail to meet some of the criteria for high potential segments and sites identified in the National Trails System Act. During the planning process an effort was made to explore potentially significant resources for which there was no confirmed location or which had an unclear relationship to the trail during the period of significance ( ). National Trails Intermountain Region planners consulted with trail experts to ensure that all resources were properly evaluated. Additional research and field reconnaissance conducted after the public review process led the planning team to modify list of tentative sites and segments that is presented in this section of the document. For example, some great sites, like Conquista Crossing appear at this time to be outside the period of significance of the trail. Additional research might confirm its status. Others, like the Navasota River Swales and the Lucky Loop Swales, need additional research linking them to the period of significance of the trail. Segments LOUISIANA Natchitoches/Sabine Parishes Name: Ormigas Road (Latham s Trace) Historic use type: Road Description: This road spanned the Ormigas land grant from the Indian Crossing on the Sabine River to Bayou Tassan on the way to Los Adaes. Time period: late 18th Century-early 19th Century Ownership: Public Reason for questionable status: More research is needed to link this road to trail activities during the period of significance of the trail. Name: Patroon Road (Zwolle-Ebarb- Hamilton) Historic use type: Road Description: Before the construction of the Toledo Bend Reservoir this was one of the roads in Louisiana that would have linked with El Camino Real de los Tejas in presentday Texas. Time period: Post-1812 Ownership: Public Reason for questionable status: More research is needed to link this road to trail activities during the period of significance. Name: Texas Star Road Historic use type: Road Description: This road runs between Fort Claiborne (marker in downtown Natchitoches) and Belmont, northwest of Los Adaes. It was built to intercept any movement coming from the west and to aid Spaniards living in the community of Bayou Pierre. Time period: Post-1812 Ownership: Public Reason for questionable status: More research is needed to link this road to trail activities during the period of significance. TEXAS Segments Lavaca/Fayette counties Name: Round Top Segment Historic use type: Road Description: This segment stretches over 65 miles across Fayette and Lavaca counties. This trail realignment has been digitized as part of the NTIR database although it parallels closely the designated route. It has not been possible to verify its level of integrity and its association to the trail during the period of significance. Time period: 1700s? Ownership: Unclear Reason for questionable status: More research is needed to link this road to trail activities during the period of significance. Page 197

52 Appendixes Sites LOUISIANA Natchitoches Parish Name: Arroyo Hondo Historic use type: Boundary Description: Between 1806 and 1820, Arroyo Hondo marked the border between Spain and France on the Neutral Strip. It is located east of the bridge crossing at Young s Bayou (Arroyo Hondo). A pink granite marker commemorates the site. Time period: Reason for questionable status: It is only one point along the boundary line. The marker is located next to a public road, but it may be difficult to create a safe public access. Name: Bayou Amulet Historic use type: Bayou/Creek Description: Bayou Amulet was the main drainage canal into Red River from Lac Terre Noire, now Sibley Lake. During the French and Spanish Colonial periods, this bayou emptied into the Red River, now Cane River Lake. River trade from New Orleans and pack animal trains from Mexico used the location as a rendezvous; in fact, the stream was named Bayou A Mule on early maps, a reference to the many mules usually tied up along its banks. The name was later changed to Bayou Amulet. Time period: Reason for questionable status: Additional historic information is necessary to link this area specifically to trail activities. Name: Bayou Pierre Settlement Historic use type: Community Description: This settlement is thought to be one of the locations where the Adaeseños went after the closing of Los Adaes. It is between Lake End and Frierson along Bayou Pierre, which drains into the Red River at Natchitoches. Time period: 1770s Reason for questionable status: Location has not been confirmed. Name: Camp Sabine Historic use type: Archeological site Description: Zachary Taylor built Camp Sabine in 1822 at the place where General James Wilkinson had camped in Metal artifacts have been recorded. Time period: Reason for questionable status: Additional historic information is necessary to link this area specifically to the period of significance of the trail. Name: Darby s Trace Historic use type: Road Description: William Darby traveled south from the settlement at Bayou Pierre to pick up El Camino Real de los Tejas near the old presidio and mission at Los Adaes. The road retains some integrity of setting. Time period: 1812 Ownership: Public Reason for questionable status: Additional historic information is necessary to link this area specifically to the period of significance of the trail. Name: Goat Hill (New Spanish Town) Historic use type: Landmark Description: Goat Hill is the current designation for the high area where the New Spanish Town church was located. It is located on SR120 (the original alignment of El Camino Real de los Tejas in Louisiana), about three miles from Robeline. The landowners suggest that an area with elongated sunken areas is the old cemetery for the church, which was vandalized by treasure hunters. Time period: 1800s Reason for questionable status: Additional historic information is necessary to link this area specifically to the period of significance of the trail. Name: La Gran Montaña Historic use type: Natural landmark Page 198

53 Appendix F: Additional Sites and Segments That Could be Eligible for Inclusion Description: La Gran Montaña (Big Mountain) was described by Pichardo as a landmark located at the boundary between France and Spain, halfway between the two forts at Natchitoches and Los Adaes. The specific location is uncertain: it is said to be near the Old Fire Tower, which can be accessed by driving south from SR6. Pichardo writes that French settlers had houses and other possessions built up to the foot of La Gran Montaña. Time period: 1800s Ownership: Unclear Reason for questionable status: Specific location is not clear and more research is necessary to link this site to trail activities. Name: Vincent Micheli Grants (Salinas Land Grant on both sides of the Sabine River) Historic use type: Ranch Description: The ranch on this land grant connected to El Camino Real de los Tejas and included fords of the Sabine River and Borregas Creek. The land grant included more than 27,000 acres of land on both sides of the Sabine River. Time period: Reason for questionable status: Specific location is not clear and more research is necessary to link this site to trail activities. Name: Rancho del Baño Historic use type: Ranch Description: Governor Jacinto de Barrios Jaúregui was accused of charging for the issue of land titles in He named this ranch and four others (Rancho de Llano Ondo, Rancho de los Tres Llanos, Rancho de Pan y Agua, and Rancho de San José) as examples that he did not charge to issue land titles. These sites could be located in either Louisiana or Texas since the governor at Los Adaes had jurisdiction for the entire province. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Unclear Reason for questionable status: Specific location is not clear and more research is necessary to link this site to trail activities. Name: St. Denis Vâcherie Historic use type: Ranch Description: This site is associated with Louis Juchereau de St. Denis. Time period: first half of 18th century Ownership: Public (Northwestern Louisiana State University) Reason for questionable status: More historic information is needed to link this site to St. Denis. Sabine Parish Name: Juan Maximillian Bayou Cie Historic use type: Bayou Description: The John Maximillian land claim is bounded on the south by the claim belonging to David Waltman, brother-inlaw of Guillaume Babe, and on the east by the claim belonging to Patterson and Baucus. Maximillian was born at Las Cabañas. It is said that, when he was eight years old, he helped his Uncle Cabin (Charbonneau) build the Cabin Road. Time period: pre-1809 Reason for questionable status: Specific location is not clear. More research is necessary to link this site to trail activities. Name: Negreet Community Historic use type: Village/town Description: It was established in 1822 and was located 12 miles southwest of Many. Time period: Reason for questionable status: The relationship of the town to the period of significance of the trail has not been clearly established at the time this document s being prepared. Name: La Nana Ranch Historic use type: Ranch Description: The ranch was owned by William Barr and located south of El Camino Real de los Tejas. In 1803, an outpost was established by Spanish General Salved; by 1805, 10 Spanish troops were stationed here. In 1806, they were expelled by American General James Wilkinson. Time period: 1800s Page 199

54 Appendixes Ownership: Unclear Reason for questionable status: Specific location is not clear. More research is necessary to link this site to trail activities. Sabine, Texas/ Sabine, Louisiana Name: Crow s Ferry Historic use type: Sabine River crossing Description: This ford of the Sabine River is visible on 1936 aerial photographs. It was in use until the river valley was flooded by Toledo Bend Reservoir in the late 1960s. Time period: s Ownership: Public (Sabine River Authority) Reason for questionable status: The resource is beneath the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Name: Gaines Ferry Historic use type: Sabine River crossing Description: This ford of the Sabine River is visible on 1936 aerial photographs. It was in use until the river valley was flooded by Toledo Bend Reservoir in the late 1960s. Time period: 1800s Ownership: Public (Sabine River Authority) Reason for questionable status: The resource is beneath the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Name: Paso de las Sabinas Historic use type: Sabine River crossing Description: This ford of the Sabine River is visible on 1936 aerial photographs. It was in use until the river valley was flooded by Toledo Bend Reservoir in the late 1960s. Time period: s Ownership: Public (Sabine River Authority) Reason for questionable status: The resource is beneath the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Name: Patterson s Ferry Historic use type: Sabine River crossing Description: This ford of the Sabine River is visible on 1936 aerial photographs. It was in use until the river valley was flooded by Toledo Bend Reservoir in the late 1960s. Time period: 1800s Ownership: Public (Sabine River Authority) Reason for questionable status: The resource is beneath the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Sites TEXAS Atascosa County Name: Atascosa River Crossing Historic use type: River crossing Description/Background: Research has been done to try to identify the crossing place for the Atascosa River because it may be associated with the headquarters of the Atascosa Ranch. Physical evidence of the river crossing has not yet been found. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Unknown, but likely private Reason for questionable status: Specific location of this site is not known. Name: Lagunilla Creek Swales Historic use type: Trail segment Description/Background: Clark states that segments of undisturbed road were found on either side of Lagunilla Creek. According to Pressler s (1867) travel map, the only route that would have crossed Lagunilla Creek would have been the Lower Presidio Road, which should have passed the creek in the vicinity of present-day Charlotte. This route would have likely followed a general alignment similar to present day SH 97 and SH85/ FM140 in this general area. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Unknown, but likely private Reason for questionable status: Specific location of this site is not known. Name: Poteet Segment Historic use type: Trail segment Description/Background: This trail segment is possibly associated with the headquarters of Atascosa Ranch. Time period: 1600s Ownership: Mostly private Page 200

55 Appendix F: Additional Sites and Segments That Could be Eligible for Inclusion Reason for questionable status: The relationship of this segment to the trail during the period of significance needs to be established. This segment is about 4 miles in length. Evaluating team did not have the opportunity to view during visits to the area. Bastrop County Name: Bastrop State Park Historic use type: Trail segment Description: Unclear Time period: Unclear Ownership: Public (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) Reason for questionable status: Additional historic information is necessary to link this site to the period of significance of the trail. Name: Bastrop Crossing Historic use type: River crossing near fort Description/Background: This river crossing may have been associated with a garrison at a ford on the Colorado River in presentday Bastrop. Archeological evidence of an undisturbed road segment has been recorded as No. 41BP85; however, the garrison has not been confirmed. Time period: Unclear Ownership: Public (city of Bastrop) Reason for questionable status: Specific location of this site is not known; further research is necessary to understand the site and its relationship to the trail. Bexar County Name: Cassín Crossing/Rancho de Costales west boundary Historic use type: River crossing/paraje Description: The names Cassin and Cassin Siding appear on maps on either side of the river, near the town of Earle, which corresponds with the two sites. Modern aerial photographs of Earle show a possible ford east of/parallel to Pleasanton Road. McGraw and Hindes note that Johnson and Ward s 1866 map shows the San Antonio Laredo Road merging with the Presidio del Rio Grande Road in this vicinity; however, they note that the actual fork in the road was farther south, based on Roessler s map of This crossing is said to be on the Atascosa route to the Río Grande. The name itself describes the area as a boggy barrier to travel, and a wide right-of-way may have been necessary to ensure the two roads could be passable under extreme wet-weather conditions. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Unknown Reason for questionable status: Further research is necessary to link this site with the designated trail. Name: Concepción Creek Crossing Historic use type: River crossing Description: Ivey notes that mission records indicate that pasture lands granted to Mission Concepción extended to the ford of the arroyo at the edge of the lands of Mission San José. Ivey interprets the arroyo to be Concepción Creek and mentions a river crossing at Concepción dam. He states that Presa Street is named for the Concepción dam. Presa Street follows the alignment of the road labeled Camino de la Bahía del Espíritu Santo on Menchaca s 1764 map. Time period: 1700s Ownership: San Antonio River Authority Reason for questionable status: Further research is necessary to establish the specific geographic location of this site. Name: El Monte/Monte Galván Historic use type: Ranch Description: This ranch is one of several belonging to Mission San Antonio de Valero, and is located northeast of the mission. A report in 1762 notes that a stone house and chapel were associated with the ranch; the description may have referred to the site as la Mora or el Monte. One of the boundaries of the ranch may have been an upper route to La Bahia. The ranch extended from Salado Creek, on the west, to Cibolo Creek, on the northeast, and possibly to Martinez Creek, in eastern Bexar County. McGraw believes the El Camino de los Tejas/Nacogdoches Road may have been one of the boundaries. Ivey states that the northern boundary of the ranch was probably Rosillo Creek, near the town of Kirby in northeast Bexar Page 201

56 Appendixes Page 202 County. The mission lands of San Antonio de Valero were bordered on the south by the Compuerta de Concepción (sluice-gate of Mission Concepción), extending to a ford where an upper road to La Bahia crossed Salado Creek. The so-called Cabello 1780 map shows two crossings of Salado Creek. The map is extremely inaccurate in that area, but it shows a road extending from Cibolo Creek to Mission San Antonio Valero. DeLorme maps show a foot trail that was visible at least once in recent history. The foot trail extends from the area depicted as a ranch on Cibolo Creek, near La Vernia or Sutherland Springs (probably Rancho Paistle). It follows the creek for approximately 30 miles and connects with Houston/Commerce streets in San Antonio. Extrapolating from this, it would likely run directly west toward Mission Valero, crossing the Salado Creek. The contemporary Delorme map shows a route named Camino de los Mochos following the alignment of Commerce Street on a modern map generated from 1837 maps of San Antonio. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Unknown Reason for questionable status: The evaluating team was not able to access this site and its integrity could not be verified. Name: Losoya Crossing Historic use type: River crossing Description: This crossing of the Medina River was identified by Stephen F. Austin as one league west of the San Antonio/Medina confluence in the vicinity of Losoya. Time period: 1700s-1800s Ownership: Public (City of San Antonio) Reason for questionable status: Further research on this site is needed to associate it with the period of significance of the trail. Name: Loma de Padrón Historic use type: Natural landmark Description: Site might have been used as a landmark in determining the boundaries of Rancho San Lucas of Mission San José in a dispute involving Fray Pedro Ramírez de Arellano. Time period: s Ownership: Public (City of San Antonio landmark) Reason for questionable status: Further research on this site is needed to associate it with the period of significance of the trail. Name: Nogalitos Ford Historic use type: River crossing Description: Ivey notes that this is a ford on San Pedro Creek in Bexar County mentioned in mission records. Based on his description of the location, this appears to be a different crossing from the Nogales Crossing. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Unknown Reason for questionable status: Further historic research is necessary to link this site with trail; the location has not been verified. Name: Olmos Basin Road Segment Historic use type: Trail segment Description: A branch of the old Nacogdoches Road used to run from Olmos Dam to Hildebrand Avenue. The trail segment can be seen from the right-of-way. Time period: 1700s Reason for questionable status: Further historical research is necessary to link this site with the period of significance of the trail. Name: Paso de la Garza/Garza s Crossing Historic use type: River crossing Description: This is a ford of the Medina River along the Upper Laredo Road, located near present-day Somerset Road. Garza s Crossing was the name of the first post office (1872) in the modern community of Von Ormy. Time period: 1700s Ownership: Unclear Reason for questionable status: Further historical research is necessary to link this site with the period of significance of the trail. Name: Talón Crossing/Paso de Talón/ Pampopa Historic use type: River crossing/paraje Description: Records indicate that this ford

57 Appendix F: Additional Sites and Segments That Could be Eligible for Inclusion and rest stop were part of the Ranchería of the Pampopa, which was well known historically. It is also a historic site with ruins. Time period: pre-1700s Ownership: Unknown Reason for questionable status: Further research is necessary to link this site with trail; the location has not been verified. Name: Upper Presidio Road Crossing of the Medina River Historic use type: Medina River Crossing Description: This ford is located at a giant bend in the Medina River and offered a more predictable crossing place of the river. Time period: 1700s Reason for questionable status: Specific historic information is necessary to link this site with the trail. Brazos County Name: Navasota River Swales Historic use type: Trail segment Description: This trail segment is located between the irrigation ditch and the Old San Antonio Road, leading west into Brazos County. It runs through dense forest, between the barbed wire fence and the cleared Old San Antonio Road right-of-way. The swale is very shallow and rally faint: the trace varies in depth between 20 and 45 centimeters, sometimes only on one side for about 200 meters. It ascends a slight slope. Other small drainage features that also crosscut the shallow swale. This is a very good example of Major Ivey s work in locating the old road because the Daughters of the American Revolution marker is right on the north side of the old road. Satellite imagery indicates this forested area between the fence line and the Old San Antonio Road may be Brazos County or Texas Department of Transportation property because the only fence line is south of the old road. There used to be a modern rest stop at this location, with several run-down stone picnic tables. The old road becomes a deep swale as it heads west. The deepest area reaches a depth in excess of 15 feet and is more than 20 feet wide. About one-quarter mile west from the Daughters of the American Revolution marker, the swale braids out into three parallel swales. They run almost one-half mile before topping the rise to the west and disappear into the present alignment of the Old San Antonio Road. Time period: 1800s Reason for questionable status: Further research is necessary to document the association of this site to the period of significance of the trail. Burleson County Name: Moseley s Ferry Historic use type: River crossing/paraje Description: This is a multicomponent site at a natural ford, which was later made into a ferry station ( ). It is not known if this river crossing is on the main route or on a connecting route. More research is needed to determine if it was used during the Spanish Colonial period.

Houston County Name: Box Creek Crossing Historic use type: River crossing Description: According to Dr. James Corbin, there was a ford at the Box Creek confluence with the Neches. Time period: 1600s Reason for questionable status: Further research is needed to pinpoint the location of the creek crossing and establish a clear relationship to the trail. Karnes County Name: Brockman Crossing Historic use type: River crossing Description: Not clear Time period: Not clear Reason for questionable status: Further research is needed to establish the time period for this river crossing and its relationship to the trail. Name: Conquista Crossing and Swales Historic use type: River crossing Description: This ford of the San Antonio River is located at a distinct bend in the river. According to information on an 1867 travel map, the ford seems to have been located at the junction of the Laredo Road (just south of its junction with the Lower Presidio Road) and the road to Goliad County on the west bank. The route crossed the river to the east bank to join the road to Goliad. By 1867, therefore, the ford sat at the junction of at least three roads, and two of these roads are designated routes of the trail. The site has a remarkable degree of visual integrity, and several swales are evident on both sides of the river. This crossing may have been associated with Mission San Antonio de Valero s Rancho de la Mora. Time period: Not clear. Reason for questionable status: This is a beautiful site, but it is not clear that it can be linked to the period of significance of the trail. More research is necessary to clarify this question. Name: Rancho Cibolo [Rancho] del Castro (with river crossing) Historic use type: Ranch headquarters Description: The site is a possible rancho or may have been an extension of the military settlement of Santa Cruz de Cibolo. In historic studies, fuertes are described as military towns and may have had multiple sites. It is possible that this site predates the other, because it is not known if the occupation was at the same site as the 1770s occupation. Time period: Reason for questionable status: Further research is needed to establish the time period when this site was used and its location. Name: Site Associated with Fuerte del Cibolo Historic use type: Fort Description: This site contains a tomb associated with the Fuerte del Cibolo. Both have been excavated, and their significance is well documented. This site is located more than one-half mile from the congressionally designated El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail; however, the Cabello and other maps, as well as historic documents, indicate that this was a site on the main historic trail from Bexar to La Bahia. Time period: 1770 or 1780s Reason for questionable status: Further research is needed to establish its relationship to the trail. Page 206

Leon County Name: Dillard s Trace Historic use type: Trail segment Description: The trail segment is in a wooded location, with an old road running north of Black Lake. Time period: 1800s Reason for questionable status: Historical information is necessary to link this site to the period of significance for the trail. Name: Fort Boggy State Park Swales Historic use type: trail segment Description: These trail segments were recorded in a report by Corbin. The road segment would have run perpendicular to the trail, and it is unclear if these swales predate the 1839 establishment of Fort Boggy. All archeological sites and historic structures recorded along these trail segments date to the mid- to late-1800s. A state historic marker indicates that pioneers settled in this area about Nearby, Kowhai and Kakapo Indian camps afforded these early settlers little sense of security. On February 5, 1840, Christopher C. Staley was ambushed and killed by a group of Indians while out hunting near his home. This incident led to the construction of Fort Boggy for the protection and safety of the settlers. Named for its proximity to Boggy Creek, the fort consisted of two blockhouses with 11 dwellings inside a footprint of about 5,000 square feet. A military company, authorized by Texas president Mirabeau B. Lamar, was formed to protect the fort under the leadership of Captain Thomas Greer. According to one account, 77 people moved into the fort upon its completion, but many were struck by illness. The following year, Captain Greer was killed in an Indian attack while leading a scouting party beyond the fort. Soon after, the threat of raids lessened and Fort Boggy languished. For many years, a community church and school retained the name Boggy. As an aid in the early settlement of this area, Fort Boggy remains significant to the history of Leon County. Time period: 1800s Ownership: Public (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) Reason for questionable status: Research conducted while this document was being prepared appears to indicate that the swales are outside the period of significance of the trail. Madison County Name: Madison Swale Historic use type: trail segment Description: This trail segment is a shallow swale leading out of Navasota River. Time period: 1800s Reason for questionable status: Historical information is necessary to link the site to the period of significance for the trail. McMullen County Name: Herrera s Road Historic use type: Trail segment Description: This is a variation of the Laredo Road referenced in early 19th-century maps. TSLAC map no (ca ) dates the road at The source of the road name is slightly more confusing. In 1805, both the outgoing governor and incoming governor of Nuevo Leon had the name Herrera. The outgoing governor, Simon de Herrera, transferred to Texas in 1805, so it was likely a reference to him. This road seems to be generally in the same alignment as the designated Laredo Road, with the exception of a segment in McMullen County, where the road travels in a more northeasterly direction than the designated trail. The two roads meet at a point on the Frio River generally aligned with FM99, within Choke Page 208

63 Appendix F: Additional Sites and Segments That Could be Eligible for Inclusion Canyon Reservoir in the northeastern corner of that county. The meeting point would have likely been a ford associated with a rock formation known locally as Rock Falls (see entry below).

Milam County Name: Ranchería Grande Historic use type: American Indian Village/ Paraje Description: Ranchería grande was a Spanish term used to describe the association of several large American Indian villages where multiple tribes settled together. There are two such sites in Milam County. At least one of them figures very prominently in the trail s history. It was visited at least as early as 1721 by the Aguayo Expedition, and a paraje, or rest stop, grew up here. The presence of these affiliated Indian villages is likely one of the reasons that Milam County was chosen as a mission site, beginning in 1746; however, no one has recorded this site. Time period: pre-1700s Page 209

Webb County Name: El Paso de las Mujeres/Santa Cruz y Paso de las Mujeres/Calvillo Ranch Historic use type: River crossing/paraje Description: This was a ranch at a ford between the west bank and east bank routes of the Bexar La Bahia Road. The secular ranch was leased to the Calvillo family at least as early as 1774 (see Rancho de Las Cabras landscape study in NPS San Antonio National Historical Park files). The name El Paso de las Mujeres is referenced repeatedly in land grants, and a house just north of the crossing is shown on a General Land Office sketch (GLO no ) at least as early as This appears to be the same location as a ranch headquarters depicted on a map that has been attributed to Domingo Cabello, ca (see Jackson 2003). Time period: 1700s Reason for questionable status: The location of the ford needs to be confirmed. Wilson County Name: LODI Historic use type: Village/town Description: The historic marker text for Lodi has 41WN64 handwritten on it. The marker is more than a mile from this site, according the Texas Historical Commission Historical Atlas. The site is located on the San Antonio River. It is at the end of a road with a marker describing a ferry supposedly used in the 1870s. The site is adjacent to a historic cemetery (mid-1800s) that also has had a new marker erected this year. The site was recorded as an Anglo site with stone ruins. It is possible that the site was inhabited earlier than the ferry markers indicate. The Lodi marker refers to the townsite being inhabited in the 1700s, which would likely have been the Mission San Juan ranch of Pataguilla. Colonel Jesse Pérez says the ferry location was the same as the river crossing that is known locally as Paso de los Mujeres, which is located on private land. Time period: 1700s Reason for questionable status: The location of this site needs to be confirmed. Name: Rancho de Pistole (Rancho Pastle, Moss Ranch) Historic use type: Ranch Description: This ranch belonged to Mission Concepción. According to information received during the public review period, this site can be confirmed by documents.

Name: Rancho de San Rafael de Pataguilla/Patoquilla/Palahuilla (see also Lodi) Historic use type: Ranch Description: This ranch belonged to Mission San Juan Capistrano. In 1768, Solis visited the ranch headquarters, which was located on the east bank of the San Antonio River. The site has not been confirmed archeologically, but historical maps place it near the historic town site of Lodi, possibly near either the crossing known as Paso de las Mujeres or Caballo Crossing. The ranch was deeded to Simón de Arocha in Time period: 1758 Ownership: Unknown Reason for questionable status: The location of the ranch site needs to be confirmed. Name: Seguín Trace Historic use type: Trail segment Description: The Cabello Map (ca. 1780?) depicts a road going to an area that appears to be Gray Crossing. People from Wilson County believe that Seguín Trace crossed at Gray Crossing. They noted that Gray Cross- Page 213

68 Appendixes ing is just below Rocky Ford, which is also known a Peacock Crossing. Wilson County provided a map of Seguín Trace, noting that the original source/documentation was not known. The map depicts the same route as the Cabello Map. This would have been a connecting route, likely used to access one of the sites at Fuerte del Cibolo. The fort location would probably have been between Gray Crossing and a hot springs known locally as Ojo de Santa Cruz the original name of the town of Sutherland Springs. Note that one of the names for Fuerte del Cibolo is Fuerte de Santa Cruz. Time period: 1774 Ownership: Unknown Reason for questionable status: The location of this trail segment needs to be confirmed. Page 214
